Plate tectonics on super-Earths: Equally or more likely than on Earth (2011, methodology): “The numerical model we use solves for the equations of thermal convection where plate tectonics and large scale mantle convection are treated as a single self consistent system, similar to van Heck and Tackley (2008).”
Fluidity: A fully unstructured anisotropic adaptive mesh computational modeling framework for geodynamics (2011, methodology): “For example, excluding a few notable exceptions [e.g., Stadler et al., 2010; Alisic et al., 2011], global mantle convection models do not fully utilize constraints on mantle and plate boundary rheology, as numerical simulation at the required resolution is not possible with most current methods [e.g”
Mantle dynamics in super-Earths: Post-perovskite rheology and self-regulation of viscosity (2012, methodology): “371 372 3.1.8 Solution method 373 374 The physical model is solved using the numerical code StagYY (Tackley, 2008) in a two-375 dimensional spherical annulus (Hernlund and Tackley, 2008).”
The primitive nature of large low shear-wave velocity provinces (2012, methodology): “This model was obtained with StagYY (Tackley, 2008), which solves the conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy, and composition for an anelastic, compressible fluid with infinite Prandtl number.”
Simulating the thermochemical magmatic and tectonic evolution of Venus's mantle and lithosphere: Two-dimensional models (2012, methodology): “[16] We have performed numerical modeling of the thermochemical evolution of Venus over 4.5 billion years, using a model of coupled magmatism and convection in a spherical annulus [Hernlund and Tackley, 2008] or a 3-”
Reconciling dynamic and seismic models of Earth's lower mantle: The dominant role of thermal heterogeneity (2012, methodology): “For example, Deschamps and Tackley (2008, 2009) compare predictions from 3-”
Subduction styles in the Precambrian: Insight from numerical experiments (2009, background): “Indeed, conclusions based on 2D numerical models still need to be tested with 3D approaches since the effects of the third dimension for plate dynamics and geometries can be quite significant (e.g. Tackley, 2000, 2008; Rey and Houseman, 2006).”
High Accuracy Mantle Convection Simulation through Modern Numerical Methods. II: Realistic Models and Problems (2017, neutral): “We refer to [Baumgardner(1985), Tan & Gurnis(2007), Leng & Zhong(2008), Tackley(2008), King et al.(2010)] for details on how other codes deal with these issues.”
A free plate surface and weak oceanic crust produce single‐sided subduction on Earth (2012, methodology): “…(Figure 2) are an order of magnitude smaller than laboratory values [Kohlstedt et al., 1995], consistent with previous studies on yielding-induced plate tectonics [Foley and Becker, 2009;Moresi and Solomatov, 1998; Tackley, 2000a, 2000b; Trompert and Hansen, 1998; van Heck and Tackley, 2008].”
